CFI MEMBERSHIP FAQ

CFI Memberships make great gifts! Go to this page to review membership benefits. Enter the recipient’s information under the shipping info and your information will go under billing. An email will be sent to the recipient once processed. If there are special instructions we need to be aware of, email us at membership@cafilm.org.

If you lose your membership card and need a replacement, email: membership@cafilm.org with your full name. A $5 replacement fee may apply.

WHAT ARE FREE MEMBER SCREENINGS?

We are very lucky that the film studios work with CFI to offer us free film screenings for members to get the word out about films. These are screenings exclusively for members and, if space is available, you can bring a guest. We typically open the doors 30 minutes before the screening and will always try and bring you a filmmaker for a Q&A if it’s possible. Attendance is first-come first served and we cannot guarantee a seat as screenings may be overbooked.

HOW DO I FIND OUT ABOUT FREE MEMBER SCREENINGS?

An email invite is sent to active members. The invite will indicate if you can bring a guest.
Due to limited theater seat capacity, not all members are invited to all screenings.

Screening invitations are non-transferrable. They are only for members and a guest (if indicated in the invite). If you cannot attend, cancel 48 hours before the screening.

WHY AM I NOT GETTING THE FREE MEMBER SCREENING INVITES?

You may not be receiving invites because of the following:

Not all members are invited to all member screenings

To get invited to more member screenings, you might want to consider upgrading

WHEN CAN I BUY TICKETS TO THE MILL VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL?

MVFF tickets go on sale to members before the general public. And even further, MVFF tickets go on sale to members by membership level. The higher your membership, the earlier you get to purchase. A great reason to upgrade.
